IN THEIR OWN WORDS
We are an innovative small high school that prepares students to be active citizens, lifelong independent learners, and confident, cooperative, creative thinkers. Our school is not just a place for visual artists, but for students who want to showcase their ideas to the world. Our focus on literacy, the arts and research will help students to think critically about their world and prepare them for future life challenges. Our students will participate in exciting hands-on learning through internships, community service and job-shadowing opportunities. Students will present portfolios using media technologies and will choose an area of academic interest to research in their junior and senior years.
